Fluorosint® MT-01

Fluorosint MT-01 PTFE (colour: dark-grey) is an extreme grade developed specifically for applications where the benefits of PTFE-based materials also require strength, stiffness and stability.  Fluorosint MT-01 PTFE delivers high mechanical performance at elevated temperature and as a result is often specified in seat, seal and wear applications where extreme conditions are present.

Product Overview.

• High maximum allowable service temperature in air (260°C continuously)
• Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance 
• Outstanding UV- and weather resistance
• Physiologically inert (suitable for food contact, except Fluorosint 500, Fluorosint MT-01)
• Inherent low flammability
• Good electrical insulating properties

Fluorosint enhanced PTFE’s unique properties are the result of a proprietary process in which synthetically manufactured mica is chemically linked to virgin PTFE. This bonding results in properties not normally attainable in reinforced PTFE. Fluorosint grades offer an excellent combination of low frictional properties and dimensional stability. 

 Engineering Notes.

Due to its unique PTFE matrix, Fluorosint's physical strength characteristics are not as high as other advanced engineering plastics profiled here such as Ketron® PEEK or Duratron® PAI (formerly Torlon® PAI). This compliance/ductility makes it ideal for seats and seals.
